Presentation at the Workshop on Open Citations, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy, September 4, 2018.
I will demonstrate the use of the VOSviewer software (www.vosviewer.com), of which I am one of the developers, for creating bibliometric visualizations of science based on openly available bibliographic data sources. Both the use of Crossref data and the use of data from the OpenCitations Corpus will be demonstrated. In addition, I will show how data from Dimensions can be used. The possibilities and limitations of the currently available open data sources will be discussed, also in comparison with more established data sources such as Web of Science and Scopus. Finally, I will provide my perspective on future developments, focusing especially on the integration of open data sources and visual analysis tools.

About the Webinar
The publication and management of Open Access material now plays a central role in the academic research infrastructure, although its impact may differ across disciplines. If, as Heather Joseph of SPARC has written in College and Research Library News, "the full accessibility and utility of articles is a critical part of the design of the research system," then how can the library ensure that this material, which may be generated via an array of various processes from multiple sources, is easily available for its patrons to discover and use? Join NISO's presenters for a lively discussion on this timely topic.

Poster presentation at 3AM conference (Sept. 2016, Bucharest), by Dimitris Pierrakos, ATHENA Research & Innovation Center (poster co-authors: Jochen Schirrwagen, Bielefeld University; Pedro Príncipe, University of Minho).
Dissertation as a document provides data on new knowledge, but also – encodes important scientometrical information. A study of social structure of science through data found in dissertations and theses provides bibliometrical data for study of national style of science. The pilot study, described below encourages the library community to improve their documentation in this area, in particular, the notation of supervisors and institutions within a bibliographical record. It is proposed that the CBD argue for stricter standards of library/archive record of dissertation.
Along with the dissertation data in the new IsisCB platform the social structure of the history of science community might be analysed. Scientometrical study of dissertation abstracts at a local level (ie., Lithuania) will provide a model for future studies of scholarly communication at global level.
1. This presentation aims at highlighting available resources that help PhD researchers collect their own data, analyze it and report it in spite of the different problems they encounter (e.g., scarcity of resources available, absence of funding, etc.). It concludes with providing some advice to enrich academic research.
2. If you google “a PhD thesis”, you will find a plethora of books and resources on how to write a PhD. Here are some examples.
3. The majority of them basically focus on the PhD research life cycle. They present pieces of advice on research topic choice, research design i.e., needed equipment, materials, procedure to be followed, how to carry out research how to sample, how to implement quantitative and qualitative techniques, how to collect data, how to analyze it, how to draw charts, tables, how to interpret results and come up with new interpretations, and how to prepare the PhD viva. However, they do not focus on the principal agent who is the PhD researcher.
4. Therefore, by analogy, we can talk about the PhD Researcher life cycle. Actually, as PhD candidates we start as dreamers. After convincing our supervisors by our topic and after being accepted by the doctoral committee, we are illuded by the idea that we have a clear direct path to go from our research topic to our final dissertation. Life is rosy and no clouds on the horizon. Yet, our path is not as straight as we expected, it is full of slopes and bumps and we end up in the lost phase. Lack of resources, technical problems, statistical problems, etc makes the PhD researcher journey gloomy. The cycle ends up by the achiever phase. We have 4 steps in this phase. The first step is finishing the first draft. The Second step is submitting the thesis. The thirst step is the oral presentation and the last one is when you are officially declared as a doctor. However, the movement from lost to achiever is not rapid and smooth if the PhD candidate does not develop a problem-solving attitude characterized by autonomy and collaboration. The lost phase should not be so long if we move quickly to the problem-solver stage.In this presentation, I will reveal some of the techniques that I have personally found effective during my journey.
5. Those techniques are the toolbox of an effective problem-solver PhD researcher. In this toolbox, we find an effective study plan. Because we have 3 to 4 years, we can divide them as the following first year reading and taking notes, second year designing and implementing the research as well as analyzing data. The third year and probably the fourth year should be devoted to writing.
11. We should look at PhD research as science production. Our researches are the building bricks of scientific development which aims at improving our world and benefiting others . We should cooperate to reach such end. Thus, both collaboration and autonomy lead us to achieving our final goals.

Workshop proposal for the JTEL & EMMA Summer School 2015
“OPEN Minds”: another way to access knowledge & share your ideas
A proposal for an interactive and collaborative learning activity for early- to mid-stage PhD candidates and for young researchers.
Nowadays everyone has unprecedented access to online resources and materials from all over the world. Finding good online resources and most importantly “open” access resources though is not easy. This remains a big challenge for every PhD student and generally for every researcher. Knowing where to search and how to find, for example, high quality open access journals needs effort and strategy. Furthermore, sharing research to “high quality” open access repositories needs also caution, planning and good knowledge of copyright issues.
Young researchers and PhD students have also enormous possibilities of networking and sharing research (i.e. Academia) as well as the possibility to access a big variety of online open courses of large scale (Massive Online Open Courses, MOOCs) that could support their work such as basic lessons of “qualitative research methods”.
Besides that, there are open access spaces of collaboration where PhD students can peer-review their unpublished research work (e.g. Prolearn Website/mediabase) as well open access databases where they can upload their PhD (e.g TEL Map Confolio).
But how easy is for PhD students and for young researchers to take advantage of all the “open access” possibilities? Which are the challenges and what are the risks?

Edit Gorogh & Tony Ross-Hellauer give insights on OpenUp & OpenAIRE research in alternative peer review services and methods | OSFair2017 Workshop
Workshop title: Peer review at the crossroads
Workshop overview:
The workshop builds on the results of the OpenUp landscape scan and the OpenAIRE report on open peer review. The workshop has multiple purposes including (1) assessing existing and evolving methods and functions of alternative peer review mechanisms, (2) breaking down peer review into the basic processes to identify the benefits and challenges, and (3) identifying questions and issues that need further investigation.
Group discussions will also touch upon issues such as the sustainability, long-term availability of alternative review tools, and their uptake by researchers, and the incorporation of these methods into institutional, national, funders’ and publishers’ policies.
OpenUP and OpenAIRE are dedicated to engage with different (disciplinary, inter-disciplinary) research communities from the social sciences, life sciences, energy, arts and humanities to identify the requirements from the emerging trends as posed by Open Science and e-infrastructural interconnected environments. Both projects aim at developing a sustainable framework that is relevant for and responsive to the Open Science needs.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion

6. Open Access
• Green Open Access: the author can self-archive at
the time of submission of the publication (the
'green' route) whether the publication is grey
literature (usually internal non-peer-reviewed), a
peer-reviewed journal publication, a peer-reviewed
conference proceedings paper or a monograph
• Gold Open Access: the author or author institution
can pay a fee to the publisher at publication time,
the publisher thereafter making the material
available 'free' at the point of access (the 'gold'
route).
